SCULPTURE ON THE MALECÓN BY SERGIO BUSTAMANTE |

Hurricane Simon, the fifth in a row for Baja and the southern coast of Mexico, brought an enormous downpour of rain to Puerto Vallarta on Thursday night. September, normally one of the two difficult weather months re heat and humidity – October is the other one – has actually been agreeable. Early morning and early evening walks on the malecón, with or without dogs, are pleasurable. Pelicans waddle past the fish market, dogs romp below on the beach below and the many sculptures lining the promenade are always interesting to look at.
My favorite is sculptor Sergio Bustamante´s nautical collection of fantastical and futuristic bronze chairs and bench, which always remind me of Jules Verne´s 1870 science fiction novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

I twisted a tick off of her neck and she immediately started to bleed. I couldn´t think of a solution for her, as all the refuges and rescue organizations are full, there no foster homes available, and I leave Mexico October 5 for a month. I thought she would stay by the gate while I registered a pet, but when I looked back, she was gone. When I arrived home, I felt overcome with sadness. Am not sure why. I have seen and continue to see so many dogs that look like this one. Maybe it was because it was the way she looked at me as I petted and talked to her. So I drove back to Pitillal to try to find this sweet and starving dog who was destined to die if not rescued. I couldn´t find her.
NENA NECESITA CASA PUENTE Y HOGAR PARA SIEMPRE. TIENE 8 MESES. |
When I returned home a second time, I sent out an SOS to about a dozen animal rescue sites on FB. I received a response twenty minutes later from Magdalena Sanchez Jimenez, who had noticed this dog in back of the church in Pitillal. After boarding the bus, Magdalena got off the bus she had been one block later and returned for the dog. She called Angelica of AngeliCAT for a ride home and then saw the photo I had posted on a dozen animal rescue sites. The dog was taken to Dr. Peña´s the next morning, where she tested negative for parvo and distemper, but diagnosed with non-contagious mange and low blood platelet count. She has been dewormed (Dr. Peña said she had an enormous quantity of them as a result of eating garbage), received an injection and special bath for mange and vaccinated for parvo and distemper. I picked her up Friday afternoon and delivered her to Magdalena with a new collar and leash and two bags of Kirkland puppy food. Magdalena, who has a home full of family and cats had originally committed to take care of Nena for two weeks. She emailed me Saturday afternoon to say her family had fallen in love with Nena and she preferred to care for her until I return in a month. Needed: Rides from Magdalena´s to Dr. Peña´s for weekly injection and special bath for mange. Please contact Magdalena if you can help with a ride- Nena Love via FB or email: [email protected] If you would like to help with vet expenses, please take donations to: Dr. Manuel Peña´s at Mascotas – 109 Melchor Ocampo – one block south of Plaza Caracól off of Avenida México. 224-0319 Spaying will be free at a PEACEAnimals clinic, which will take place when Nena´s blood platelet count is up. The biggest issue is not vet bills, it is a permanent home in a month. Nena is a very sweet and grateful dog. She is perfect with cats and dogs and people. She is loving and is lovable.

She has been boarded for a month at LADRA while taking meds for erlichia, anaplasma and non-contagious mange. Mona walks either next to a companion or nicely on a lead, fetches sticks, loves the beach, chases cats and without training, will probably need to be the only dog in a household. She´s affectionate, intelligent, playful and pretty. Contact: [email protected]
